Encrypted filesystem support

Encrypted filesystem support

Encrypted filesystem support, though which encryption technology will be used has not been decided yet.

I think they mostly mean encrypted root filesystem support here, or maybe they want to add better admin tools. But I've been encrypting non-root filesystems with Fedora for ages, and it is pretty easy. Simply dedicate a hard drive partition (or use a file with loopback) for this, then run 'cryptsetup' to create an encrypted mapping of that partition in /dev/mapper. Then format it with your preferred filesystem (e.g. use mke2fs) and then you are ready to 'mount' it. Here are more detailed instructions.
